years knowing israel
As we go forth into the coming year, let it not be in the haste of impetuous, forgetful delight, nor with the quickness of impulsive thoughtlessness . But let us go out with the patient power of knowing that the God of Israel will go before us.
prayer views perfect
The greatest answer to prayer is that I am brought into a perfect understanding with God, and that alters my view of actual things.

The reason we see hypocrisy and fraud and unreality in others is because they are all in our own hearts. The great characteristic of a saint is humility-Yes, all those things and other evils would have been manifested in me but for the grace of God, therefore I have no right to judge.

Sin is blatant mutiny against God.

One of the greatest strains in life is the strain of waiting for God.

prayer humble thinking
The prayer of the feeblest saint who lives in the Spirit and keeps right with God is a terror to Satan. The very powers of darkness are paralyzed by prayer; no spiritualistic seance can succeed in the presence of a humble praying saint. No wonder Satan tries to keep our minds fussy in active work till we cannot think in prayer.

There are certain things we must not pray about - moods, for instance. Moods never go by praying, moods go by kicking.

There is nothing to be valued more highly than to have people praying for us; God links up His power in answer to their prayers.
jesus block liars
If Jesus ever commanded us to do something that He was unable to equip us to accomplish, He would be a liar. And if we make our own inability a stumbling block or an excuse not to be obedient, it means that we are telling God that there is something which He has not yet taken into account.
spiritual promise matter
Never forget that our capacity and capability in spiritual matters is measured by, and based on, the promises of God.
doors heaven humanity
At His Ascension our Lord entered Heaven, and He keeps the door open for humanity to enter.
